Protection of Fish,

Seth Green, in the American Agri-
rulturst, makes this forcibe appeal for
the protection of fish:
The matter of protecting our fish is a
subject which should interest every good
citizen, whether he be a fisherman or
not; it is question which concerns the
food supply of the country, which is
Of vital Importance to every man, woman
and child.
The class OF fishermen who do the
most damage are those who take the
fish during their spawning seasons. 1t is
at this time that the fish come into the
shallow water to complctc their task of
procrcation and are then easily captured.
All fish have certain localities, to which
they resort at the season of the year when
their eggs are maturcd and ready to cast.
Different varieties seek different locali-
ties. These localities are well known to
poachcrs, and where the fish congrcgate
in these places in large schools they
draw their net around them and lre.
qucnty capture the whole lot at single
haul.
Another method through which oul
inland waters arc deprived of hundreds
Of thousands OF young fish annually, is
through the means Of the murdcrous
spear and jack light. The dcprcdators
approach the spawning beds of the sal
mon trout, bass or other fish at night :;
the strong light Of the jack, as it is
called, thrown upon the water enables
the spcarman to sec down in the clear
water for several feet; the darkness Of
the night serves in the same way as Il
cloak thrown over the head in the day
time in looking below the ice, through
which, as many of your readers know,
objects can be seen for Il considerable
distance down. The fish have Hppar-
emily little fear of the light, and the boat
is easily paddle up TO within a few feet
Of the fish, when the deadly spear is sent
into them. Not only are many captured
in this way, but many arc injured which
are not brought to the boat, so that they
die by being pierced by the tines of the
spear, and ,a,h is the result in few
hours or days, according to the injury.
There are also several other ways by
which fish are destroyed while on their
spawning beds, rs by shooting, snaring,
etc., but | think have explained the
matter sufficiently, and trust it will make
an impression on the minds of my read
ers, so that they will exert their inhu.
ence to protect the fish from illegal modes
of capture at all times, and their whole
sale destruction, particularly so when
they are on their spawning beds.

AIaska'S Wonderful Scenery.

From the northwest corner Of Wash
ington Territory, along the coast line of
British Columbia, and as far north as
the city of Juneau, Alaska, nearly a
thousand miles, picturesque panorama
of towering, prccipitous mountains and
broad rivers and bays is spread out be-
fore the ever-dcvouring gaze of the
traveller. Natures noblest efforts in
scenic effects are here displayed. 1t is
as if the Yellowstone National Park or
the mountainous regions of Colorado
were partly sunken into the sea until
their gulchcs and valleys were converted
into waterways. A grand salt water

Nothing draws with steadicr pull
than interest, and when any one has
learned this he has acquired one of the
great points of success, says New York
letter to the Troy Times. Mr.. Shot
well, one of the Bowery banks staff,
mentioned TO me how often dcpositors
were surprised to find how much their
money had earned. On one occasion a
man who had made several drafts came
to obtain a final settlement, and men,
toned that she did not think that there
was much left" "Wait," said Mr..
Shotwel, "until we balance your &C.
count" and when this was done he was
astonished to find large amount placed
in his hands. The advantage of having
something working for man in addi-
ton to his own labor is also found in the
decision OF character and dignity it i'm
parts "Thc first dollar one places in
savings bank is the beginning of self
respect and sclf-relance to higher de-
gree than ever previously experienced"
This was the remark made by the late
Thomas jeremiah, formerly president Of
the Bowery savings.

Why the Nightingale Sings.

The West lhaIians have curious ex-
planatory myth regarding the night
ingalc. They imagine that the birds
song may be rendered in these syllables
of human speech: Is tit, is tit, Is tit,
to wit, to wit-Trizy, Trizy, Trizy, to
bucht, to bucht, to bucht. But the last
syllablcs are the usual shepherds cry to
his dog when he wishes the sheep COL
ectcd. Therefore Trizy must be the
name of the dog to whom the cry to
buGht is addressed. Therefore the
nightingale must have been a shepherd.
cas-, whom shepherd curscl because
she always postponed the marriage she
had promised. He uttered the wish
that she might not sleep till the day Of
judgment. Nor docs she, for may not
her voice still be heard at night as she
cries to bucht, to bucht, to bucht to her
good dog Trizy9 The same people give
a strange explanation of the face of the
shard or founder, which is all awry,
with its eyes on one 81 dc Of its face in
stead of being straight, like the eyes Of
most other fish. Originally its face was
a straight and sensible fish face, but
one day it insulted passing herring,
and made mocking face at it, fol
which, as a punishment, it was never
able to draw its face back to its Original
position. -[Gentlcmau's Magazine.

The city of Nankin, once the capital
Of China, has for centuries been famous
to the "barbarians" Of the outer world
for its porcelain towcr--a relic of tho
splendor Of its anc lent days before Pc
king usurpcd its dignity as the seat of
the empire. The place is now, to great
extent a city OF ruins; and the city
proper has shrunk to One-fourth of its
former Dimensions. The porcelain tower
was built quite early in the fifteenth cen.
fury by order OF the Emperor Yuhgloh,
and as a work Of tllal picty.
1t was a monument to the memory OF
his mother, and he determined that its
beauty should as far outshinc that Of
any similar memorial as the transcendent
virtues Of the parent, in her sons eye,
surpassed those of the rest of her sex.
The estimated cost is more than three
quarters of a million of cur money. Tho
work was commenced at noon on a GER
tain day in 1413, and occupied nearly
twenty years in its completion. The to-
tai height of the porcelain tower wa
more than two hundred feet, and it was
faced from top to bottom with finest
porcelain, glazed and colored. 1t con-
sisted Of four stories, surmounted by
spire, on the top of which was ball Of
brass richly gilded.
From this ball eight iron chains ex-
tend to as many projecting points on tho
roof, and from each chain was suspended
n bell, which hung over the tower. The
same arrangement was carried out in
every story. These bells added very
much to the graceful appearance of tho
tower, breaking its otherwise formal and
nonotonous outlines.
Around the outer face of each story
were several apertures for lanterns, and
when these were illuminated, we arc
told in the magnioquent language Of
the Chinese historian, "their light ilu-
minated the entire heavens, moving the
hearts of men and entirely removing
human misery" 1t is not difficult to
imagine, however, that the appearance Of
the tower on such occasions must have
been beautiful in the extreme.
On the top of the tower were placed
Two large brazcn vessels and bowl,
which together contained various costly
articles in the nature OF an offering and
4 charm to avert evil influences. Among
these were several pearls OF various
colors, each said to possess miraculous
properties, together with other precious
stones and quantity of gold and silver.
In this connection, designed to represent
the best treasures Of the state, were also
placed u box of tea, some small pieces Of
silk, and copies of some ancient Chinese
writings. The tower was demolished in
1858.

A Wonderful Clock,

Another great clock has been added to
the Theological wonders of the world-a
piece OF mechanism that will vic with the
elaborate marvel of Strasburg Cathedral,
and put the professional curiosity of
Barnc Tower into the shade. The latest
effort of the renowned Christian Martin
of Vilingcn, in the Black Forest, is said
in its way to surpass anything of the
kind yet attempted. 1t is three and a
half metres high, two and hrcc-quarters
broad and shows the seconds, minutes,
quarter hours, hours, days. weeks, months,
the four seasons, the years, and leap
years until the last sound Of tho year
90, 900 OF the Christian era.
Moreover, it tells on its face the cor :
rect time for various latitudes, together
with the phases of the moon and vari-
ETY. of useful information generally con-
fined to the pages of an almanac.
1t also contains q vast number OF
working figures representing the life of
man, the creed of Christendom, and the
ancient pagan and Teutonic mytholo-
gics. Sixty separate and individualized
statuettcs strike the sixty minutes.
Death is represented, as in Holbein's fa-
nous dance, in the form of skeleton.
In another part appear the Twelve
Apostles, the Seven Ages Of Man, mod
ellcd after the description of Shakespeare,
the four seasons, the twelve signs of the
Zodiac, and so on.
During tho night time watchman
sallics forth, and blows the hour upon
his horn, while at sunrise chanticcer ap-
pears and crows Justify. The cuckoo
also calls, but only once a year, on the
first day in spring. Besides the figures
there is whole series of movable figures
in enamel, exhibiting in succession the
seven days of Creation and the fourteen
Stations of the Cross. At certain hour
a little sacristan rings q bell in the spirc
and kncels down and folds his hands, as
if in prayer; and, above all, the musical
works are said to have sweet and de-
lcious flutclikc tone. - st. James Ga.

Peat ROgS I'm Russia.

A Russian official report states that tho
use of peat as fuel in factories is rapidly
increasing, and from this circumstanc,
tho price Of peat-bogs has risen so much
that bog is worth more than well
timbcrcd forest. Last year twenty-eigh
peat bogs belonging to the Crown were
being worked on leases, the total ares
being G, 900 acres. This year there are
thirty-three such bogs, with an area Of
50, 900 acres, containing peat to the csti-
mated cxten. of 40, 900, 600 Russian cubic
fathoms. Many manufacturers are Civ.
ing up the use of wood in favor of peat
and this is especially the case in tho
province Of Vladimir Peat.cutting ma

A tcaspoonful Of granulated sugar
moistene with pure vinegar will gen
orally remedy that annoying complaint,
hiccough.
Sick headache may generally be cured
by the administration OF the juice of
half a lemon in cup of strong black
coffee without sugar.
Put five drops of chloroform on lit
tic cotton or wool in the bowl of clay
pipe, then blow the vapor through the
stem into an aching car and instant re-
lief will be afforded.
A capital method OF administering
castor oil to children is pour the oil into
pan over moderate fire, break an egg
into it and stir up. Then flavor with a
little salt, sugar or current jelly.
1t is claimed that If persons liable to
the effects of poison ivy will take a dose
of pure olive oil after an exposure to
such ivy, they will escape annoyance.
If the eruption has already begun, few
doses of olive oil will neutralizc the
effects Of the poison.

How the Fairies Got Their Names.

iib" shC "Ol
A widcly-sprcad notion is that when
our crusading forcfathcrs went to tho
Holy Land, they heard the PIynm SOL
dicrs, whom they fought, speaking much
of the Peri, the lovciest beings imagina-
blc who dwell in the L .st. Now, the
Arabian language, which these swarthy
warriors used, has no letter P, and
therefore they called their spirits Fcri,
and did the Crusaders after them; and
the word went back with them to Eu-
"opc, and slipped into general use.
"El' and "goblin," too, arc interest
ing to trace. There was great Italian
feud, in the twelfth century, between
the German Emperor and the Pope,
whose separate partisons were known as
the Guclfs and the GhibelIines. AS
time went on, and the memory of that
long strife was still fresh, descendant
of the Guclfs would put upon anybody
he dislikcd the odious name OF Ghibel-
line; and the latter, generation after
generation, would return the compliment
ardcntly, in his own fashion. Both
terms, finally, came to be mere CATCH
words for abuse and roproach. And the
fairies falling into disfavor with some
bold mortals, were angrily nicknamcd
"clf' and "goblin;' in which shape
you will recognize the last threadbaro
reminder Of the once bitter and historic
faction OF Guelf and Ghibelline. Il Wide

At the present time disinfcctants are
in order and ought to be used freely in
households where measles, sore throats
and like diseases arc in progress, also
when these are anticipated. 1t is also
an excellent plan to use disinfectants
now and then, even though the family
be in good state of health. The fol-
lowing recipe is vouchcd for as an excel
lent disinlcctant by French pharma-
ceutist: four pounds of crude sulphatc
of iron or two pounds of sulphate of
copper are dissolved in hot water, to
which two ounces of sulphuric acid are
added. Mix with the solution while
still hot eight ounces of carbolic acid,
filter and fill in bottles. When this
powerful remedy cannot be applied in
its fluid state, dry sawdust thoroughly
moistencd with it may be scattered over
the floor Of dark room or other places
to be disinfcctcd. New York World.
